We had so many real conversations with #16ers today from all sides. Will be back tomorrow!

Today I spoke with Gary and asked what his ideas were for Missouri. He wants to see safer gun laws, he wants to support public education, he is concerned about charter schools and how they take funding from public schools, and he wants MO to stand for reproductive rights for all.

I met Mike. He also wants Missouri to be as safe as possible with passing safer gun laws. He mentioned his wife is very active in our local @MomsDemand chapter after seeing my Moms pin on my vest.

Mike, your wife is amazing, and we can/will make our state safe!

I met Laurie towards the end of the day. She opened up to me and expressed how she felt embarrassed at times, seeing where Missouri was headed. She wants to see change in Jeff City and a state that takes care if it’s people.

That’s why I’m running Laurie, to put people first!

Another day on the doors, dozens and dozens of real conversations with fellow #16ers about what matters to them.

Our neighbors are ready for change and want a government that works for people, not a party.

Our time is now #Team16 #JamesforMO #Flip16
